Dear Sue The normal range of Ferritin in 10 to 150 - so 14 is in normal range. A lot of my clients have ferritin levels taken - and most of the time they are around 10 to 20 in the last trimester of pregnancy.
Hb levels above 105 are also normal Cheers Jane Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond Caring, Professional Midwifery Services Sydney Visit http://www.pregnancy.com.au -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@;acegraphics.com.au]On Behalf Of Sue Cookson Sent: Friday, 8 November 2002 10:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] Haemoglobin and ferritin levels Hi, Needing some help to clarify the difference between haemoglobin levels and ferritin levels. Have a local GP who switches between the two readings depending on which one is lowest and suggests/insists on iron injections. Levels I've had quoted from some of the women are: Hb 107 Ferritin 14 another: Hb 109 Ferritin 13 These two women are both 32 weeks. Just needing clarification and some evidence about the relevance of both/either readings. Hb levels seem fine to me - a bit foxed by the ferritin level - one woman had dropped from 120 early pregnancy to 14 now... Look forward to your fine input, Sue -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
